I'm not saying Benson was great, by any stretch, but Salty made a bad throw for the unearned run, Mike Young missed an automatic double play ball, and Nellie Cruz badly misplayed a fly ball that would have had the team out of the inning before the grand slam.

Benson actually looked pretty darn good in the first three frames. He trailed off after that for sure, but take those two miscues away and he gives up maybe three runs instead of eight.

It's very importance economically for the Rangers to stay competitive for as long as possible this season. I have no problem with them rolling with Benson long enough to see if he has anything.
